Following read- ing of title by the City Clerk, it was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that Ordinance No. 838 be introduced. Chief Hitchins, Fire Marshal, Orange County Fire Department, offered assistance in preparation of an ordinance which would not place a demand for additional personnel on the City and not be viewed as an infringement of private property, and stated that if the ordinance were adopted, the OCFD could provide aid in its enforcement. He suggested continuance of the matter to allow the Fire Department's input in drafting a smoke detector ordinance. A substitute motion was made by Hoesterey, seconded by Kennedy, to refer the matter back to staff for coordination with the Orange County Fire Department, and bring back to Council for further review. Councilman Edgar felt the matter had received sufficient review, and expressed his desire to take action on the ordinance now.

TORO DISPOSAL SPECIAL BIN SERVICE Due to lateness of the meeting, the Mayor indicated this item would be heard at this time. Gary Jackman, Holthe Disposal, stated that three-day bin service has not been provided to the residential community in the past, and the industrial norm is to leave a bin for seven days. However, realizing that there is a need for thi~ service from residents and after surveying resi- dential franchise sellers in different cities, he found Holthe's current rate was equal to or less than Toro's. Mr. Jackman stated Holthe is currently studying routing and considering a three-day program as opposed to the seven-day program. He also indicated Holthe's position is to provide the bin service and avoid an infringement of their franchise. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 5, 2-2-81 IX. OLD BUSINESS X.

The Mayor stated Council would review this matter with the City Attorney in an Executive Session and report back to the parties involved.
